School Girl

I have always looked relatively young for my age, with people commonly estimating that I'm anywhere from 3-5 years younger than I actually am. Lately, however, estimates have dipped even further with people telling me that I look "younger than 21" (these are not people carding me for alcohol, just people with whom I happen to be striking up a conversation - and yes, that's people, plural, as in more than one person has told me of late that I look younger than 21).

This has me baffled, especially since I have a fair amount of under-eye wrinkles, but I'm beginning to think I may have cracked it. Some factors indicating a less than almost-30 age:

* When Amber and I get together we act 12 years old. (see e.g. recent 7/11 post)

* Today a 4-yr-old girl at the Italian restaurant and I had on the SAME SHOES:

* A friend recently gave me a test for internet addiction. Among the questions asked were, "How often do you block out disturbing thoughts about your life with soothing thoughts of the Internet?" At the time I answered, "Occasionally" (because I mean who doesn't read a little PITNB every once in awhile to escape reality?). Now I'm afraid the answer may be a little different.
Today I sat down to write some cover letters for job applications only to be distracted by searching for Bright Eyes' appearance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. I couldn't find the recent appearance, but I did find a fair amount of interview footage of my dear Conor. Minutes turned into half hours turned into "oh shit, I should really think about going to bed soon."

What follows next is really just me putting up pictures of Kirk Cameron on my bulletin board or in my locker, but it's my blog, so you'll have to indulge me.

The first video I think is adorable - I mean who doesn't like an indie rocker bustin' out the YMCA with some 10-yr-olds (fast forward to 00:34)? The way he dances...swoon. Told you I was 14.

The second video is way more recent and appears to have been done by the British media. It starts off serious, but stick with it to the woodchuck and drunk questions - it's pretty funny (but I'm not in any way biased). He's my soulmate - it's cheesy, but I think it might be true.
